...African crown is Spanish Guinea, which Consists of the verdant, volcanic island of Fernando Poo, a few other smaller islands and the larger, rain-forest mainland province of Rio Muni. Thanks to steady help from Madrid, Fernando Poo boasts bountiful harvests of coffee, bananas and cocoa. It has a model road system, one of Africa's highest rates of primary school attendance (89%) and per capita income ($246)-and probably its biggest leisure class. When the Spanish government gave the island's Bubi tribesmen their own farms, many of the placid, easygoing natives simply leased the land...
...bargaining table, the company has made headway against major roadblocks. Last month it announced earnings for the three months ending Dec. 31 of $4,500,000 (plus a special tax recovery of $19,200,000), its first quarterly profit in 18 months.

They are the first combat-bound models of the controversial F-111 swing-wing fighter-bomber (originally, the TFX), contracted for six years ago under Robert McNamara to serve both the Air Force and the Navy. Takhli's new planes will be F-111 As, the Air Force model, which will be tested in bombing runs over North...
